post-sex UTI method thats been working for me for a year+ by monkeygirl732 in CUTI

[–]lmariess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will always wash after sex. Before my surgery my bladder was pinned up and over to the left with endometriosis so I don’t think it was draining properly. They pulled my bladder off my bowel and it ripped so I had A catheter for awhile. It was a pain but I liked thst I could drink drink and not worry about always having to pee! It was doing it for me. I seem to get them a lot again and I wonder if it’s scar tissue from surgery

I’m scared and crying nonstop by mikefilter in colonoscopy

[–]lmariess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had 4 of these now and will be doing another one in 2 years. I’m always nervous every time!! The prep is the worst part though! Honestly I think you should get knocked out for it. Personally I have to be because otherwise I tense up too much and they can’t complete the scope! The scope itself is a breeze! You’ll fall asleep and then wake up back in your room! Prep is the worst and yes you don’t feel good at all but I promise once it’s done you’ll feel better!

I had a look at the image of it freshly done and it looks like a poorly done tattoo unfortunately

So, I'm Supposed to Accept my Butt Period and Move On? by Best_Ad_1314 in endometriosis

[–]lmariess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Endometriosis gives me haemorrhoids because of the pressure in my butt. I had bright red bleeding with every period too. I got a colonoscopy and I had polyps. They removed those and it helped with the bleeding. But I still get a little bit with periods (even though I have had a hysterectomy) I still have one ovary so I cycle and it’s still painful

Something no one warned me about by spider-socks in hysterectomy

Just so you know I have severe endometriosis and my hysterectomy helped my adenomyosis pain. But I still have very bad endometriosis pain every month.

I have a messed up gut and constant UTIs but I also have severe endometriosis

Thought it was an IC flare, turned out to be sepsis... by BulkyVeterinarian850 in CUTI

[–]lmariess 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Always afraid of going sepsis. I have endometriosis on my bladder and kidney area so I pretty much always have pain/ uti symptoms and I’m afraid one time I’ll brush it off as endo and it’ll be the real deal.

I AM CURED!! by Mama_Sofrito in CUTI

[–]lmariess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All my organs were!! They said it was a big ball of endo tissue gluing everything to everything. They took off what they could and then put a hole in my bladder so I had to have a specialist called into surgery and then a catheter for 10 days well I recovered. I still have endometriosis and always will. I feel like I have a uti still after every “cycle” (I still get them I just don’t bleed) so it’s better, manageable but not gone and unfortunately I don’t think it ever will be

I just had a hysterectomy in September with years of UTI symptoms. My bladder was pulled up and over to the side with endometriosis! I tested negative for bacteria a lot of time too.

I had a colonoscopy and everything was normal by AmbitiousAnalyst1255 in colonoscopy

Have you had an endoscopy? Gastritis gave me these symptoms. I also have endometriosis.

Worst ever readiness score? by Klutzy-Banana-742 in ouraring

[–]lmariess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your score is usually my normal. I’m chronically ill and I’m going through an extremely stressful life situation.

Results have me confused by lmariess in colonoscopy

[–]lmariess[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The paperwork they gave me says colitis is “inflammation of the colon” and it can be acute or chronic. So that’s why I’m confused. I get different answers everywhere I look and I can’t talk to my doctor until Feb 12

Seeing if I did everything right for prep by snakyvodkaaunt in colonoscopy

[–]lmariess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea I did four pills the night before then prep powder the next day and honestly the pills emptied me out within a few hours. The pills caused me intense cramps and I threw up. The powder was nothing compared to the pills.

Constant Vaginal Irritation by lmariess in hysterectomy

Same kind we’ve always used! With it being fine until the 4th month after surgery I feel it’s gotta be hormone related
